Diary of Daisy: My Journey to Motherhood Thursday, 19th September

Today felt like a rollercoaster ๐ŸŽข. On the one hand, I woke up with cramps, reminding me that my body is still processing this cycle. On the other hand, I felt a small flicker of hope again as I started planning for the future. I think the hardest part of trying to conceive is balancing the constant anticipation with the reality of setbacks. Every month feels like a fresh start, but also a reminder of what didnโ€™t happen.

I spoke with a close friend who has been on a similar journey, and it helped so much to hear her say, โ€œThis is part of the process. Donโ€™t be too hard on yourself.โ€ Itโ€™s strange how we can feel like weโ€™re failing even when we know logically that this is normal. Her advice? Donโ€™t focus on the months youโ€™re not pregnant; focus on how strong your body is for keeping you healthy enough to try again next month. ๐Ÿ’ช I really needed that.

My husband and I spent the evening talking about baby names โ€“ yes, I know weโ€™re not pregnant yet, but itโ€™s still exciting to imagine. It helps us stay connected and hopeful. He loves the name Emma for a girl, and Iโ€™m leaning towards Noah for a boy. It feels good to dream about the future even though weโ€™re still waiting. ๐ŸŒธ
